Just to get this straight - where is the need to "interpret" anything? I pointed out to MaXxX that he is using the %WRAPPED() macro in a wrong way, and that he should try his experiments again using the macro as stated in the help file (and YES, I did complain that he didn't read my message carefully). During the daily commandline usage I'm used to placing quotation marks around a parameter whenever it contains white spaces, and that I can leave them out otherwise. So TB's parameter passing scheme actually is logical to me. Computers work that way. The commandline interfaces or shells of computers always worked that way for me (there are exception, too), so I did not see the quotation marks issue once the wrong usage of %WRAPPED() would be sorted. Further, it may be overlooked that the "general helpfile statement" that using either quotemarks or parenthesis for parameter passing is both working equally good (for single parameters, and that is stated in the helpfile as well) has an exception. That exception is the %WRAPPED macro (which has a new and an old version, as I pointed out in my first reply to MaXxX - and thats why it is meantioned in the list of macros in the helpfile twice, with the new and the old syntax) - and thats why MaXxX's experiments failed, if I'm not entirely and terribly mistaken. One may draw the conclusion that the helpfile can be improved regarding that topic, and especially the quotation mark usage, if I understood Marck correctly. Finally, I'm almost expecting to see a "MOD: Dead Horse" after this reply. -- Best regards, Alexander (http://www.neurowerx.de - ICQ 238153981) using v3.0.2.1 on Windows XP Pro Service Pack 2 There was never an idea started that woke men out of their stupid indifference but its originator was spoken of as a crank. -- Oliver Wendell Holmes ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.1 Beta/1 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
